BOYDTON, VA., March 12
Mr. Fulwar Skipwith died at his home, "Prestwould," near Clarkville, on Tuesday night. Mr. Skipwith had been in failing health for some time. He was the son of the late Humberston Skipwith, of Prestwould, and grandson of Sir. Peyton Skipwith and Lady Jean, his wife, of "Newbold Hall," England. Mr. Skipwith was a man of many fine qualities of heart and mind. His father being a wealthy man gave him the best opportunities of an education. He travelled for two years in the East after finishing his education, and his account of his travels were most interesting. He married Miss Annie Ledyard, of Mississippi, who survives him, together with four children - one son, Mr. Austin Skipwith, of Prestwould; Mrs. Helen Halsell, of Mississippi; Mrs. Annie Heidelburg, of Mississippi, and Miss Jean Staples, of Clarkville, Va.
The burial took place Thursday at the homestead, the Rev. E. Stirling Gunn, rector of St James Episcopal Church, of Boydton, officiating.
